friends. Once I get to know people it's so much easier to talk, but as soon as there's a new person introduced I clam up. Then I find no one really wants to talk to me because they think I'm weird. I'm hoping joining some groups here might help, we'll see...

I am a single white male age 58 searching for an open minded female in Tampa Bay, Florida. If you are out there give me a buzz so that we can chat?

or "speak!" If you have your not the only one. Everytime I don't know somebody I'm very quiet unless they talk to me first. But one time I was with my grandma and she said we have to go to Golden Corral to have lunch with her friends so we went and her friends were a bunch of...

you should never be quiet around people you don't know,you should express yourself the best you can.unfortunately,there are some of us who find it very difficult.but i WILL find my way to win that stupid,stupid habit.

Ok... It is one thing to judge someone you know and have met, but I don't understand judging someone that you DONT KNOW! It seems like I hear people talking about me under their breath, and then they laugh..
Like... On the bus when I was sitting by myself and minding my business...

I find it very diffucult to start a conversation with people i barely know like yeah i can ask them obvious questions but it rarely develops into anything else. I have come to a point where i refuse to go to a party where the only person i know is the one hosting it. I know it...

Over the weekend I went camping and brought my friend courtney with me. Me and courtney just became close, but we aren't that strong in friendship yet. So my best friend came out the next day and I was so happy because courtney isn't AS social as me, but she still is, if that...

I went with my moms friend who was in her 20s or 30s on the fourth of july.In this car was her cousin who was 17 and her little sister who was an age I never found out.So anyway,we drove 45minutes or so to a place I at the time didn't know.But as we got there,I saw men around,and...

My social skills suck. I was never the girl who hugged her friends cuz physical contact was just too uncomfortable. Til this day it drives me crazy when someone is in my personal space. I get really stiff and quiet. I have always been shy. High School was horrible, glad that's...

or in rl) I will be very quiet and not know what to say which is very annoying, especially if I want to keep talking to you. So if you message me and I'm not saying a lot, its because I'm shy, not stuck up or whatever

I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be...but still pretty quiet around people I have just met. I need to try to "figure" them out first & see what their personalities might be like, before I will start opening up at all. Even then, I don't really know what to say..especially if...

I am super shy. In class I dont talk at all. Not even a word. But oh boy, out side of class I'm a wild child. No one knows me. Outside of school I actually talk a lot, laugh a lot, and Im funny. My sister is really cool and lets me hang around her friends. We pretty much share...

and I don't know why. My friends who know me well always say I'm a lot of fun and I can always make them laugh, and they tell me I shouldn't worry about what others think because I'm a lot of fun, and I always want to talk more around people I don't know so well, but for some...

when I'm around people I don't know. So I sort of shut myself down until I know them more. I guess I just get kind of worried of what they'll think of me. I get worried they won't like what I have to say or that they'll pick at everything I say like its wrong or something. I...

I suppose at the core I am actually quite a shy person. That initial first contact for me is always difficult. Yet when I write.....the thoughts and words just flow out of me. It's been like that my whole life.Being able to put my thoughts into stories is the ultimate ice breaker...

I wish I was a bit more bubbly and envy people that are. It shows great confidence but then behind closed doors who knows?
I can be bubbly after a few glasses of wine but that's just sad.
I prefer to be genuinely more out going and much more loud than quiet. Hopefully I'll...

because I don't want to be weird or awkward to suddenly start a conversation that might get them to feel uncomfortable or maybe they been uncomfortable around you because they don't know you or just don't want to get to know you but...when I am gaming online, I'm the total...

That's how people often describe me, although other gems have included: Stuck-up, boring, retarded, and judgmental.But if you get to know me, I'm quite down to Earth, fun, intelligent, and for the most part, open-minded and warm hearted. If you can't see past my shyness, **** off...

Apparently, one of best friend's friends believes he's only ever heard me speak 6 words. Considering my track record (of being a complete mute), I consider this to be quite a lot of words really. I'm just too shy for words...

My mother tells me that when I first started talking in sentences I would talk all of the time and would never shut up. She told me about a time when she was shopping and had me in the cart. I was talking away, she doesn't remember about what though. A friend walked up and...
